Chris Cornell - CVT vocal analysis (When I'm Down)

[@bruhmoment1311]

during badmotorfinger and superunknown chris had this wonderful restrained sort of sound to his high notes. they all sounded so closed off and shiny in the best way possible. songs like limo wreck and jesus christ pose show what i mean quite well, it’s gorgeous.

great song choice and analysis! keep it up, guys!

My hero.

My favorite Cornell song right here, an absolute classic that most people don't even know exists. Would have been nice to hear your opinion on the bridge since that's the best part of the song, but it is what it is I guess. Check out his Higher Truth album too, it's an awesome collection of folky, singer songwriter stuff.

I love Higher Truth! Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart knocked me out on the first listen when it came out as a single and I saw Chris live on that tour. Sorry for not including the bridge part. I wanted to talk about the verse because it's the part with the most variation in vocal texture and since we're trying to keep these videos somewhat manageable in length, we can't cover everything. Hope you liked the part we did cover though! Ivan

Great stuff!!

[@huberttorzewski]

Please do an analysis of sir Russell Allen (he sings in: Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob, Allen/Lande, Allen/Olzon) :D He's the greatest living male rock/metal singer for me

[@RockVoxYT]

Russell is a monster singer for sure! Do you have any particular songs and parts in mind?

[@huberttorzewski]

@@RockVoxYT for example this song could be cool for analysis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4vRhYV_rJaEgdk

[@huberttorzewski]

@@RockVoxYT here's the same song in studio footage recorded with on-camera mic, you can hear and see how much energy it takes for him to sing that kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6G9qIB8nKigeLc

Thank you so much for showing me this side of Chris Cornell! I've got a suggestion for analysis - I would love to see you do John Pinto jr. I think his TAKING CHANCES (by Celine Dion) live cover is more diverse and suitable for analysis than his famous NEVER ENOUGH cover. He can belt high in edge no doubt but his dynamic control and sound color in the middle of the 4th octave are what I would love you to unpack

Lovely song choice. ❤

Great job guys

[@brikble]

Layne Staley!! He had the same vocal coach as Chris Cornell! Soundgarden and Alice in Chains also had the same Manager, Susan Silver.

[@RockVoxYT]

Hey! We already did an analysis video of Layne Staley. You can search our channel for it! That's a fascinating piece of info about the same vocal coach. Is it Ron Anderson? I know Cornell worked with him at some point

[@brikble]

@RockVoxYT David Kyle was his name. I will look for your analysis of Layne!

[@pitchygroans]

Great song pick! This song from Cornell is underanalyzed and really complex. Would be interesting to hear analysis of a singer with darker timbre, like Eddie Vedder, Hozier, Rag'N'Bone Man or even Peter Steele

[@RockVoxYT]

Great suggestions, and great username! 😂 thanks! - Aaron

I heard curbing mode was removed?

[@RockVoxYT]

You mean removed from the CVT model? Where did you get that info? It definitely hasn't been removed

[@GGbond763]

@RockVoxYT I know a teacher here who is receiving training at CVI，The information she came through was classify into as rd edge in some sense.Currently it is only available in the cvi course. I don’t know if you know about this, but it seems like they have changed a lot of things.

[@GGbond763]

@RockVoxYT You are an insider, so I want to confirm whether this is the case. 👆

[@RockVoxYT]

@@GGbond763 I've been to the update at CVI this fall and there was absolutely no mention of this, so it seems unlikely to me. Ivan

[@RockVoxYT]

I just double checked with CVI just in case and Curbing is definitely still a part of the model, so somebody probably misunderstood something
